BALLOON VILLAGE
It’s 100 years in the future. The surface of the planet is polluted and the air is difficult to breath. Humanity must survive but to do so, mankind must float above the clouds where the air is fresh and clean. Will the weather up there cooperate? Will storms and wind destroy these fragile structures hanging precipitously from their colorful balloons. Is it too late to reverse the effects of global warming? Can mankind adapt to this changing world?
I first painted a version of this picture ten years ago. I called it “Balloon Town.” Like all of my work, it was a digital painting. The painting was very popular and it sold out in many of the sizes I printed for sale. “Balloon Village” is a new digital painting. I revisited the same composition from ten years ago and repainted it in a more spontaneous rendering that gives the picture a more immediate look.
JOHN LEBEN'S COLLECTABLE NOTECARDS
Leben's collectable notecards showcase his limited edition images on high quality watercolor paper and feature distinctive deckled edges around the image giving a border around the art. These cards are a great way to sample the art in a tangible way before purchasing a larger picture and can act as a mini print if you choose to frame them. They can also be a great way to send a personal note to someone special. Each card comes with an envelope included. Each order is a quantity of 1.
